Not all tests improve that much, but it seems like whenever you're out of VRAM, the performance can improve a LOT.

I've finished the tests that I was planning on running. Heaven improved the most, but when I ran Xonotic at 1920x1200 at the highest settings, the framerate went from 9fps to 29... Not bad for just a kernel upgrade with a few hundred lines of changed code.

Not sure on this, but I believe that Marek was offered a job at AMD but he turned it down as he was still in college. Or am I thinking of someone else?

Well then I think that they should:
1. Tell him that he has a job waiting for him after his college
2. Send him a current AMD Radeon graphics card of choice
3. Send him the upcoming AMD Radeon graphics card whenever the next generation gets released or even prior to official release
4. Send him a AMD CPU (with integrated GPU) and motherboard
5. Maybe offer to pay some tuition/college fees or offer him some sort of stipend?

Job for fglrx?
He already has job. He just picks the bugs and shortcomings of radeon driver, fix them and call the price here and for example on ubuntu forums.
Also, he already stated he apparently does not need any card...

No, job for the open source AMD Radeon driver.
I don't think that is his job, its more like a hobby.
I don't think the donations from the Linux community is enough to sustain his driver development as a job.

The average donation is 20$. He only needs 200 radeon users to donate to earn month salary.
